Comments / Modifications

Engine was rebuilt 2500 KM's ago, Car is in VGC throughout, paint is in great condition, diffs and gearbox are also in great condition, all panels are straight, and engine is built for high power. One of the seats has a tear in it and this is the only problem i can think of.

Modifications: - Engine just rebuild 2500 km's ago at a price of $10400, I have full receipts

Performance:

Car has GAB Coilovers, standard rims with some decent tyres (+ a few spares of the same brand/size) and new pads/rotors.

Standard turbo's (replaced one with the rebuild because it was on the way out)

CP Pistons

Eagle H beam con rods

New main/rod bearings

bored and honed, surfaced, crack tested block

Linished and balanced crank

ARP Head Studs

Reco'd head, valves and reset valve clearances

New timing Belt

Adjustable cam gears

Tomei metal headgasket

N1 Oil Pump and drive

New water pump

New engine mounts

New tensioner and idle pully

Heavy duty clutch, cushioned so it's not a pig to drive but it will handle good power (800km's ago)

R33 AFM's

Twin *drift* pod filters

JJR Coil Packs

Has a 3" catback system with a hkz super dragger muffler, sounds awesome

Thick aluminium racing radiator

Full service including oil filter, plugs, coolant, p/s fluid

Audio:

a new Pioneer head unit ($300 unit)

exelsior 12"kenwood sub (was top of the range when i bought it a year or 2 back, sounds awesome)

a kenwood KAC-1204 amplifier (400 retail)

Also has original flare still.

It made 220kw on 10psi on standard turbos, turbos were never run over 10psi

GTAAAH Plates are included if you'd like them

Engine was built to handle good power, i had plans for twin 2530's and about 350-400awkw eventually but ended up in loads of debt so now i'm gonna sell it and get a home owners grant. I wish this exact car had been on the market when i was originally looking to buy one. It's in great condition, still looks stock (never been pulled over) and has a well built, strong motor to handle upgrades later (so you dont have to worry about another rb26 blowup)

I have done most of my km's driving to and from work, and have never taken it to track etc. THe previous owner used it for the same purposes and his wife used it for groceries (dead set, gtr grocery cart, blah)..

Hey mate don't think it was me, live in greensborough, theres a GTAHHH running around, same colour and everything it was probably that dude

The engine build didn't really make any noticeable difference in the way the car is, the cam gears dialed in will make a bit of a difference but as the rb26 is already a really well built and finished engine unless your stroking you will end up with the same sort of power you had before hand.. But instead of worrying about the car blowing up at any random time, you can throw some big turbo's on, crank up the boost and have a hell of alot of fun without worrying anymore, which is sick

I'll get some more pics of the car CeJay and throw em up tonight or tomorrow

  • 3 weeks later...
  • 2 weeks later...

Will add a bunch of new pics tomorrow, this is still for sale, been very busy and car is just waiting on a wheel respray before its sold.. they got some overspray from something at some stage and the surface is a bit funny

New pics added

Will take some more tonight, i'm really bad at taking photo's, also car needs a wash, stupid rain where i work is always dirty

EDIT: Please note car is still for sale, i'm yet to have anyone actually come to look at it.

My Phone number is 0421654914, i work during day but i'll return all missed calls

No test pilot's, genuine interest only. Car is viewable at my house, am not meeting anyone elsewhere because of theft lately on these forums

bump, power steering leak fixed, much lighter steering now, i barely even knew it was gone, now it's noticeable as blah

got a compression test done too, results were 120 across the board, nice and close =)

Also got them to do a quick roadworthy check and it's all good, will get the actual roadworthy when i have a definite buyer

Car has only been used to get to and from work for last 6 months

I"m going to take some more pictures but hard to get time before it gets dark

Car has 0 rust, absolutely none, paint is in good condition, few tiny scratches here and there but awsome condition for a car of it's age

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
